You can't. HTML is not a programming language.

If it wasn't for muscle spasms, I wouldn't get any exercise at all.

The part that reads the quote and sends it to your beeper doesn't have
to be a web page. It can either be code in a web page (JavaScript,
PHP, etc.), or a stand-alone binary running on your computer with a
permanent connection to the Net.
See if you can find a library to send a msg to your beeper, and build
from there (eg. web services in XMLRPC, etc.), or if can just call a
script on a web site to do this (eg.
http://www.beeper.com/send.php?number=123456&msg=myquote)
Fred.
